				<p class="content-title">Infant Mortality</p>
				<ul class="paragraph">
					<li>The death of a baby before his or her first birthday.</li>
					<li>Can be measured in terms of the infant mortality rate which is the estimated number of infant deaths per 1,000 live births.</li>
					<li>Infant mortality rate can be used to measure the health and well-being of a nation because the mortality rate for infants is influenced by the factors affecting the health of the entire populations.</li>
				</ul>
				<p class="paragraph">In 2012, 73% of all under-five deaths which is around 5 million, occurred within the infant’s first year of life.<p>
				<p class="paragraph">Based on statistics, for every 1,000 babies born, six die during their first year. Leading causes for the infants’ death are the following:<p>
				<ul class="paragraph">
					<li>Babies are born too small and too early.</li>
					<li>Babies are born with serious birth defect.</li>
					<li>Babies are victims of injuries, such as suffocation.</li>
					<li>Babies are affected by maternal complications of pregnancy.</li>
					<li>Babies are victims of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).</li>
				</ul>
				<p class="paragraph">For data regarding mortality rate, ranked in descending order, for all countries worldwide as of the year 2013, refer to link below:</p>

				<p class="content-title">Maternal Mortality</p>
				<ul class="paragraph">
					<li>The death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of pregnancy termination, regardless of the site and duration of pregnancy, 
						from any causes associated with pregnancy or its management, excluding incidental and accidental causes.</li>
					<li>Leading cause of death and disability among women of reproductive age is the complications encountered during pregnancy and childbirth.</li>
				</ul>
				<p class="paragraph"> Some facts regarding maternal mortality are listed below:</p>
				<ul class="paragraph">
					<li>Approximately 800 women die every day from preventable causes associated with pregnancy and childbirth.</li>
					<li>The risk of complications and death from pregnancy is higher for young adolescents than the older women.</li>
					<li>The rate of maternal mortality is higher for women in rural areas and in poorer communities.</li>
					<li>Maternal deaths in developing countries cover 99% of all the cases worldwide.</li>
					<li>Maternal mortality rate dropped by around 47% worldwide between 1990 and 2010 as shown by Figure 1 below.</li>
					<li>Among the preventive measures that can be done to save the lives of pregnant women and newborn babies is the skilled care before, during and after childbirth.</li>
				</ul>
				<p class="paragraph">
					<i>Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR)</i>is the number of female deaths per 100,000 live births caused by incidents related to or aggravated 
					by pregnancy or its management. This includes deaths during pregnancy, childbirth, or within 42days of pregnancy termination regardless 
					of the site and duration of pregnancy, for a particular year.

				<p class="paragraph">For data on the maternal mortality rate for all countries worldwide, refer to link below:</p>

				<p class="content-title">Life Expectancy</p>
				<ul class="paragraph">
					<li>The average number of years a person can expect to live, if in the future he/she experiences the current 
						age-specific mortality rates in the population.</li>
				</ul>
				<p class="paragraph">As of 2013, the country with the lowest life expectancy is Chad at 49.07 years, while the country with the highest life 
					expectancy is Monaco at 89.63 years. Refer to the table on this link for details:</p>

				<p class="content-title">Health Care Spending</p>
				<p class="paragraph">
					Private sector businesses own and operate a large part of the healthcare facilities. The government primarily provides health 
					insurance for public sector employees. In US, around 60 – 65% of healthcare spending and provision are from government programs 
					such as Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, the Veterans Health Administration, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program. Those people 
					who are under 65 are insured by their employer or a family member’s employer, others buy health insurance on their own, and the 
					rest are uninsured.
				</p>
				<p class="paragraph">
					Despite the apparent wide gaps in the inequality of health care spending globally, higher spending in the industry does not give 
					assurance to prolong life. In the year 2000, the US spent more on the health care compared to other countries in the world.  That 
					is an average of $4,500 per person. However, average life expectancy for US, at 77 years, ranked 27th in the world. A lot of countries 
					attained higher life expectancy rates despite their significantly lower spending on health care. Figure below shows the top 30 countries 
					ranked by life expectancy with their per capita spending. As seen, a lot of countries outperform the US in terms of life expectancy rates, 
					with approximately half the spending on health care.
